The New York Times Biden Vendetta Is Backfiring

NYT has been going downhill for a while now, and their slant lately couldn't be more obvious. I was a reader for years but ditched my account recently. It's not even the Biden stuff per se, but just all of the reporting quality became more about shock and drama than actual journalism. They used to be great too.

I feel like your screen name is an opportunity to point out Harrison Ford saying that when “all of this is over” we can have the “luxury” of examining our actions…

The whole point of Enders Game is to avoid ethics/morality…

It’s wild to imagine the cognitive dissonance in orson Scott card’s mind. He saw some things so clearly and others not at all

As someone who was advised against watching the movie, this comment confused the hell out of me. I didn't even know Harrison Ford was in the movie.

The character's name in the book is Hyrum Graff.

I read even the really weird books, and none of them were as bad as the movie. They make Petra into a love interest. They also really downplay how hard ender can be, so, you know, entirely removing the purpose of the story.

This is an insane take. Is this some weird MAGA blog or something? Nothing in this ramble makes sense at all.

Its Blue Maga, but basically yes. They haven't been picked up by a nation state yet, but give it a week and book mark this called shot.

Absolutely Russia is going to take advantage of Biden's cult of failure. Why wouldnt they? Its the easiest way to secure a victory for Trump: keep Biden in the race.

Dafuq are you even talking about? The entire internet is so dumb now

You can just keep it to yourself dude. No need to make these throw-away-comments.

If you don't know what blue maga is, you can:

a) look around you

b) google it

or even

c) check out the other links posted here.

You can also disagree with my assertion that a nation state will pick up on and run with Blue Maga like they did with Red Maga. Its fair to make that argument. I don't agree with it, but its at least an argument.

But the sea-lioning. The pretending like a thing is doesn't exist. It needs to stop.

Lol. I'm literally saying the thing. You're just drunk rambilng, friend. Still don't know what exactly you're talking about, but you are clearly unleashing it on me for some reason. Take a nap.

Sorry if I mistook what you said in response. Can you break it down for me.

Also

Still don’t know daddy you talking about, but you areb

You can just keep it to yourself dude.

Oh the irony! From the both sides dude that gets downvoted into oblivion every thread.

Lol, when they say something like that, they're really not-so-subtly asking you to quit fucking with their agenda. The disinfo doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.

I have never before seen a comments section that is all trolls agreeing with each other.

I think it’s an instructive exercise to read all their comments first, picture to yourself what type of article they might be describing, what kinds of arguments it might make or what examples, and then go and read the article and see if it matches your picture.

I don't know anything about a vendetta, nor do I really care... But let me tell you, there are some very strange people in the comments of this post.

Blue Maga: "Don't believe your lying eyes."

I love how they're trying to imply it's just the Times causing these problems. It's those damn unfriendly journalists that made literally half the party and multiple big name elected Democrats and Democratic operatives think Biden was a problem. A real Failing New York Times problem.

Foreigners buying into the gaslighting just make me think they don't actually know many real life Democrats. My mom's most normie Democratic-boosting friend has been depression posting about Biden needing to step aside since the debate, all while giving a steady stream of Project 2025 infographics. It's not a media attack or a factional fight, it's a real emotion from across the party because we all saw what we saw.

The Party cannot fail - it can only be failed.

I love how they’re trying to imply it’s just the Times causing these problems.

It's depressing watching the "good" party support genocide and then start talking about lugenpresse.

Yeah, and Blue Maga wants you to deny that objective reality that you experience. In the same way Red Maga asks you deny the objective reality around DJT.

Its the same thing.

This troll is a moron. Thankfully it’s easy to block them on lemmy.
